what should Liz do with a bag of lentils?

bag of red lentils


So hey, question for you all!

Today I acquired the bag of red lentils pictured above -- look when outgoing tenants leave stuff in their apartments at the end of their leases, sometimes we make off with various items before either donating the rest to the local re-use center or chucking it in the trash (depending on the nature and condition of said items), and dry goods are dead useful, generally speaking -- but unfortunately I have precisely zero idea what to do with them, aside from, you know, maybe make lentil soup with mixed vegetables.

Therefore: what are some good but fairly low-effort lentil-based recipes?

I've also had lentils in fried rice recently and there are plenty of recipes out there if you want to try that too. I had it Asian style, so it used mixed veggies, soy sauce, sesame oil but there are a lot of variations if you want to try it with other ingredients.

Or use them to make meatless burgers: Red Lentil Burgers
